Chapter 15: Be cautious
With a shield in his left hand and an electric baton in his right hand, Ethan's combat power has skyrocketed, and although he still can't destroy a large group of evil creatures with a wave of his hand like Zur and Issandra, he can barely do it now.
The two mages, who no longer had to worry about Ethan's safety, completely let go of their hands and feet, and this time the dark creatures in the evil cave ushered in the end of their lives.
Frost, fire, and the necromancy of the Rasmar Cult that glows with a miserable white glow, accompanied by the screams of the Fallen Demons, makes Ethan feel like he's in the middle of a top-notch fantasy blockbuster.
What 3D and this is weaker than this at all, this light and shadow! this special effect! this sense of being in the scene!
With a wave of a stick, he killed a sinking demon who rushed up, and kicked a zombie close to him in return, rushing up to make up for a 'war trampling' that trampled on the already rotten and fragile head.
Looking around, most of the monsters were wiped out by the two major mages together, and the remaining small part was also killed by him with a knife in the back, and for a while, his side was empty.
"I'm glad we came together. ”
At this time, he was extremely glad that he had made the decision before, after all, he really couldn't think of too many opportunities to level up behind the two powerful figures.
With these two escorts, Ethan is improving his combat effectiveness at a speed that is visible to the naked eye - the way of fighting between the Fallen Demon and the Zombie may be relatively simple and rude, but all kinds of strange emergencies may occur, and the complex terrain in the cave has also created a lot of sudden encounters and sneak attacks, so it is just a day's work, Ethan looks like an experienced adventurer.
"Also, the spiritual power cultivation method that Gu Yi taught me is too important. ”
All of his combat power is now based on a significant increase in mental power, and he can think in 'more' time to deal with all kinds of emergencies, which is the main reason why he has not even suffered a little injury after fighting until now.
As the sounds of explosions—Issandra's fireballs, and screams—the Spenders screaming and scurrying around when attacked—faded away, and the battle between the two mages came to an end, leaving only a few Spenders who had run too far and a handful of sluggish zombies that had not yet been destroyed.
If it was before, the two mages would deliberately leave these monsters and let Ethan go up and solve them alone, as a way of exercising.
But now the two of them don't do it anymore, and in Zur's words, "you're past this stage, and now you're going to have to improve yourself in a more complex combat environment." ”
Only then did Ethan truly feel like their companions, comrades in the fight against the dark creatures!
Ethan carefully observed the corpses of dark creatures in the place, lest a monster pretend to be dead and suddenly give him a blow. This is the real world after all, not a game, where the monster is really dead when it falls. According to the treacherous and cunning nature of these Sinking Demons, no one can guarantee that they will play dead if they cannot escape.
There is nothing wrong with being careful, especially when it is at stake in your own life. And the situation at this time seems to confirm how correct Ethan's move is.
Just as he was carefully examining the corpses with the iron rod in his hand, a sinking demon lying in the pile of corpses suddenly jumped up, shouting demonic words that no one could understand, and slashed at Ethan with the long knife in his hand.
Ethan, who had been vigilant about this scene, immediately raised the iron rod in his hand, firmly held the knife of the Sinking Demon, raised his left foot, and kicked at the red short demon.
Boom!
The thick-soled leather boots stepped firmly on the ugly face of the Sinking Demon, and the impact seemed to make the spirit of the Sinking Demon a little trance, and Ethan seized the opportunity and followed it with another stick.
This time he deliberately activated the thunder and lightning magic contained in the stick, and the jumping electric light illuminated the dark cavern, and then in a scream, the Sinking Demon was killed by the powerful electricity that burst out directly.
"Whew~ Fortunately, be careful enough. ”
After checking again to make sure that he was not pretending to be dead again, Ethan took a few quick steps and caught up with the two mages who were doing something similar in front of him.
"Well done, Ethan. ”
Everything that happened before was seen by the two of them, and Ethan's response became more and more sophisticated, and he gradually lost the childishness of a rookie. In fact, Ethan's growth rate amazed the two of them.
"I regret it a little now, maybe I should have insisted on inviting you to join our Rasma. ”
Zuer said this sentence with a smile, I don't know how much sincerity, but this kind of praise will always make people happy, and after getting along for a while, Ethan is no longer deliberately modest, and accepts it with a smile.
"Okay, let's continue to explore, we've been around this cave for most of the day, and we don't know how many dark creatures are still lurking in the shadows, so we need to be more cautious in the future. ”
Irradiated by the dark, damp cavern with its fork-in-the-road cavern, Isandrola felt like she had been walking around for a long time, but her amazing memory clearly told her that she hadn't passed through the same area.
"I've roughly simulated it in my mind, and combined with the information we've received from Acala and Kasha, we've cleared most of this evil cavern. ”
The Evil Cave is actually a recent name, originally this is just a very ordinary cave in the Blood Wasteland, there are no mineral deposits and no landscape worth visiting, if it weren't for the recent surge of dark energy that has made many dark creatures hide here, this is just an ordinary underground cave.
However, knowing everything around them, Rog and the nuns of the Blind Eye Monastery have explored the Evil Cave and drawn detailed maps.
Although the map had remained in a demon-infested monastery during the previous chaos, Kasha, as a High Clergy and Rog Commander, had a detailed knowledge of the cave. And before a few people agreed to come and clean up, the terrain of the evil cave was described in detail.
"We'll go into the deepest part of the cavern next, and from what we've seen all the way through, there should be a strong dark creature hiding here. ”
As they walked all the way, the strength of the dark creatures became stronger little by little, and it seemed that the darker the place of the evil cave, the more pleasing these evil creatures, and the most powerful naturally occupied the darkest area.
Ethan thought of the mini-boss who had the first mission in the first act when he first played the game, an elite zombie monster called Corpse Fire.
But can you tell these things? How do you know that? You won't be killed as an undercover agent of the dark forces who have infiltrated the human alliance, right?
Maybe they could be reminded not to get too close to that elite zombie monster and kill him with ranged attacks?
It doesn't seem to be needed at all, these two are experienced mages, and they won't rush rashly when facing completely unfamiliar monsters, not to mention that hand-to-hand combat is not their first choice in the first place.
"These two are full-level tuba, and their worries seem a bit unnecessary?"
His worries were unwarranted, and after continuing to the deepest part of the cavern, he noticed from a distance that the corpse was on fire, which was completely different from the group of zombies next to it, and the dark energy fluctuations that were almost visible to the naked eye, the two mages decisively blocked Ethan behind him.
"Stand back, Ethan, this isn't something you can handle right now, I'll leave it to me and Issandra. ”
Instead of summoning his usual scythe, Zul took out the strange dagger that had not been used to clean the cavern this time. At the same time, the left hand summoned a white bone shield to defend it.
Issandra was also not slow, unleashing a magical shield to protect herself, then a frost shield at Ethan, and then a huge fireball at the zombies.
By this time, Zur's spell had also been completed, and he held a pale bone spear in his right hand, and the powerful primordial magic attached to the bone spear, emitting a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire gloomy cavern as if it were day.
Coupled with the large fireball released by Issandra, everything in this dark space was presented to the eyes of several people, even the monsters hidden in the most corners were clearly seen by Ethan - dense zombies, almost impossible to count, and in the deeper corners, there were also many skeleton archers, who had already opened their bows and arrows, and aimed at themselves and others.
The sound of breaking the sky rang out one after another, and almost at the same time, Zur had already rushed to the front, raising the shield in his left hand, and the tinkling sound was like raindrops, and these skeleton archers were much more threatening than they could see.
"Kill these archers first!"
Without Zur's reminder, Issandra had already adjusted the direction of her attack, and the huge fireball drew a beautiful parabola in the cavern, passing the dense zombies and plunging headlong into the group of skeleton archers.
Bang!
The loud explosion was accompanied by a blinding firelight, the archer engulfed in flames was silent, the biggest threat was cleared, and the rest was much simpler.
After blasting indiscriminately with area-of-effect magic, and then when the monsters were no longer densely packed and scattered in all directions, Issandra and Zur invariably stopped unleashing the powerful area-of-effect spells, and instead chose to attack with less expensive and more accurate magic.
By this time, Ethan was ready to join the fight, wandering the edge of the cavern to avoid getting too deep and being besieged by several monsters.
Use the terrain to make sure you only have to face your enemies head-on, and try to stay away from the elite monster of corpse fire - maybe this guy is just a magic thing for Zur and them, and similarly, that thing may only need one hit against itself.
"Don't do porcelain work without diamonds!" ”
Ethan, who knows how to do what he can, stopped his movements after seeing only the corpses in the cave and a few zombies around him, and waited for the two mages to show their might.
It's a pity that a dark creature of this level can't make the two of them use their true strength at all.
A large fireball, no different from the ordinary zombies around it, the corpse was on fire and fell.
